Watching Bones

While searching YouTube today for all things David (yeah, I know I’m a geek…) I found this video. I’d heard he was in it, but since I never watch the video TV, I hadn’t ever seen it. I just thought I’d share it since
1. it’s got David in it
and
2. it’s a pretty good song (I like it anyway)

Hope you enjoy it!

Oh, and does anyone know why David for this video? Just curious if he was just cast in it or if he was cast in it for a reason…

Guess who is on the advisory board for The Adrienne Shelly Foundation? Yep, our very own Emily. After his wife’s death, Andrew Ostroy created the nonprofit foundation to “support the artistic achievements of female actors, writers and directors with film school scholarships, production funding, etc.�

David is scheduled as one of the rotating guest stars in May for Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell on May 22-27. The show is at the Minetta Lane Theatre and features a regular cast of Kathleen Chalfant, Hazelle Goodman, Ain Gordon, and Frank Wood. According to Broadway.com,

Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell catapults us into the hilarious, provocative and heartbreaking life and works of one of the most irreverent and revered storytellers of our time. A five-person ensemble performs Spalding Gray’s legendary stories and monologues, interwoven with previously unpublished letters and entries from his personal journals. The core cast of four performers will be joined by a rotating guest star at each performance.

Speaking of weddings, can you believe these awesome shots of the upcoming episode “Stargazer in a Puddle”? (episode 2.22) Can’t wait to see this one…

Guess who just got married? Okay, so it wasn’t anyone from Bones, but Emily did grace the wedding of Melanie Lynskey. She was one of nine attendants at the ceremony in New Zealand. Congrats to Melanie!

I am so proud of the Fox network - and I don’t mean that as a sarcastic statment… According to an article at E!,

The network made the decision to pull a new episode of Bones from its Wednesday lineup, fearing that the plotline, which centers on the discovery of human remains on a college campus, would strike too close to home.

“Out of sensitivity to the victims and families touched by this senseless tragedy, we felt the change was appropriate,” a Fox spokesperson told E! News.

Since the episode that was postponed was about a college student found dead on campus, Fox has yet to determine when it will air. As I said in my previous post, I typically am not a fan of reruns, but when there is a reason such as this, I commend the network for their sensitivity and am more than willing to wait!

As we Bones fans continue to look forward to our Wednesday fix of David and Emily, please keep the victims and families of the Tech shooting in your thoughts and prayers!

Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund

April 16, 2007, will be remembered as one of the darkest days in the history of the Virginia Tech community and the world beyond.

To remember and honor the victims of those tragic events, the university has established the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund to aid in the healing process and generate financial support.

The fund will be used to cover expenses including but not limited to:

• Grief counseling
• Memorials
• Communication expenses
• Comfort expenses
• Incidental needs

I’m not typically big on reruns, but when it comes to an episode I haven’t seen before, I’ll make and exception. (Or, when it’s an episode as good as this one, that’s cool too…) Episode 2.09, or better known as “Aliens in a Spaceship,” aired last night in place of a new episode. Just in case you haven’t seen it, it’s basically about a serial kidnapper/killer who has taken people, burried them alive, demanded ransom and if paid, gives the coordinates to dig them up. For every ransom paid, he was good to his word and the people were rescued. For those not paid, they never found the victims. Bones and Booth are called in when some kids found a container with two dead boys in it - they determine that these are two of the Gravedigger’s victims. In the course of investigating the murder, Bones gets a little too close to the truth and the Gravedigger kidnaps her. Unfortunately for him, Hodgins interrupts the kidnapping and is also taken.

So, now the squints and Booth have to unravel the mystery to find Bones and Hodgins before they run out of air. Unable to raise the ransom money in time, all they have to go on is a cryptic text message Bones and Hodgins were able to send before their phone was fried. Needless to say, they came through just in the nick of time, and upon their rescue, Angela finally admits her attraction to Hodgins (aka - they kiss) and it seems to also be a turning point for Bones and Booth as well.

Oh, and for a good clip, check out my previous post The Confession and Rescue.

According to TheaterMania:

Don’t Quit Your Night Job, the popular comedy and music revue that has been playing monthly at Joe’s Pub, will begin regular performances on April 26 at HA! Comedy Club (163 West 46th Street) and will open officially on May 19.

Our own Eric is supposed to appear during one of the opening weeks for the show.

“He was cranky that day,” Hanson let slip in an earlier interview.

“And I made the mistake of immediately making vampire jokes … he was at a certain phase in his life where he didn’t want to hear about the darn vampires.”

Apparently, David wasn’t his usual congenial self when he first met with Hart Hanson for the role of Booth. Check out the full article at Tonight to find out how he overcame his “crankiness” and won the part…

Thanks to TMZ for posting a great shot of David on a vacation to Hawaii! Doesn’t he look like he’s enjoying fun in the sun… I’m not sure I agree with TMZ’s parallel between him and Val Kilmer, but hey, whatever, they’re both talented and, um, attractive actors. Have to say I’m more of a David fan though – how about you guys?

Check out the official Fox Bones site for the May 9th episode info - the myspace pages and blogs for the “play along” episode are up! There are eight characters to look into: Salmon Dan, Chef Carly, Ben, Heather, Abby, Chef Hot & Cut, Fisher, and Sushiguy23. I’ve checked out a few of them myself and they look really well done.

Don’t miss out on the fun!

David’s latest role? Blogger for the National Hockey League of course! As a big Sabres fan, and obviously well-versed in the sport of hockey, who better to keep the fans updated? So if hockey is your thing, or if you just want to check out what David has to say, be sure to check out his blog. Frankly, I’m not into the sport, and so far he seems very dedicated to keep to his topic, so I don’t think this is a blog I’ll frequent. Sorry David, love ya and all, but you know how it is…

Don’t miss tonight’s all new episode - once again Bones charms us with her catchphrase “I don’t know what that means…” (she cracks me up, and makes me feel a little better - and I just thought I could be socially backwards!)

Doesn’t David look like a fun dad? Why Star Magazine thinks it’s unusual for a parent to actually play with their child is beyond me, but hey, it’s Star magazine. What a great shot of David and his son Jaden – and what a cool dad!
